We are happy that today our book Collective Actions in the Netherlands: Towards a Litigation Fund? was published by Eleven International Publishing, authored by Xandra Kramer, Ianika Tzankova, Jos H. and Karlijn van Doorn, see https://lnkd.in/edr6eqrA. It discusses developments in Dutch collective actions under the WAMCA that was introduced in 2020, and particularly the financing of collective actions from a regulatory, empirical, comparative and European perspective. It delves into different funding modes, including market developments in third party litigation funding, and extensively addresses the question of the necessity, feasibility, and design of a (revolving) litigation fund for collective actions. The hardcover version of the book can be ordered from the publisher’s website, which also links to the digital open access version: https://lnkd.in/eGvjkhdX. The book follows up on a Study conducted by the auhors commissioned by the Dutch Ministry of Justice and its Research and Data Center (WODC), published in September 2023 (https://lnkd.in/eUtzyFXE).A launch event and webinar on Financing Collective Actions will take place on 3 July from 15-17.15 CET. Speakers include Jasminka Kalajdzic (University of Windsor) and Rachael Mulheron (Queen Mary University London).

Very happy and proud that our book Research Methods in Private International Law: A Handbook on Regulation, Research and Teaching (edited by me and Laura Carballo Piñeiro) has just been published by Edward Elgar Publishing! Together with a splendid team of authors we have worked hard to make this happen. The book is part of the Handbook of Research in law series and addresses private international law methodology from different perspectives. The first part revisits the public/private divide and reflects on evolving regulatory approaches, while the second part zooms in on multi- and interdisciplinary perspectives and the third part discusses private international law approaches from a societal and educational angle. Two launch and introductory webinars will take place in September - information will follow soon!More information available on the publisher's website https://lnkd.in/efpJKSeh We are grateful for the critical acclaims by Geert van Calster, Yuko Nish*tani, Van Loon Hans and Symeon Symeonides https://lnkd.in/efpJKSehThanks to the great author team María Mercedes Albornoz, Adriani Dori, Diego P.

In November 2022, we had the great honour to present the Liber Amicorum in Honour of Christopher Hodges OBE: 'Delivering Justice: A Holistic and Multidisciplinary Approach'. It contains 23 chapters written by colleagues and friends on many of the fascinating topics he has been working on over the past decades - and that he is still working on after his retirement from Oxford University. The book is divided in four parts: (I) more personal contributions by way of a 'homage to a polypath', (II) Collective redress, (III) Consumer dispute resolution, (IV) Court system reform and new technologies. The volume is now also available in paperback format, along with the hardback and ebook version: https://lnkd.in/gWF97b7c Stefaan Voet, Lorenz Kodderitzsch, Magdalena Tulibacka, Burkhard Hess#ADR #collectiveredress #consumerlaw #courts #civiljustice #regulation
